It wasn't packed inside the restaurant, but there were (what I thought was) a surprising amount of people considering this is a pretty quiet part of Bangsar. Still, it was cosy and comfortable, as it always has been all these years:

You can seat al fresco....

... or you can sit inside the main restaurant area....

As we sat there, I reminisced about how often I used to come here with my (now no longer) special someone, long ago... till the waiters pretty much recognized us... but anyway, that's pretty much ancient history, right?(Sorry, I got distracted...)

First up, the starter - cold chicken salad:(They were serving pumpkin soup that day and neither of us ordered it because we don't like pumpkin)

Simple and healthy....

It was a quite a small serving (but just nice as a starter lah), with the crunchy fresh greens topped with slices of fairly tender chicken and a simple vinaigrette dressing.

We were both feeling carnivourous that day so we tried the mini sirloin:

Beef!....

Here's a look at the steak up close :)

Beefy cross section....

Overall, again the serving wasn't very big, but just nice for lunch (and also considering the reasonable price!).... and thankfully the steak was pretty tender and the sauce was delicious - peppery without being overpowering.

As for dessert, we decided to go in opposite directions - one healthy....

Fruits....

... and one, not so healthy:

Cake!....

Guess which one is mine? :) :)

Haha... I couldn't resist! I love chocolate... Unfortunately, the cake (called Death by Chocolate) was only just ok.... with a slight flour-y aftertaste which degraded the overall flavour of the cake. :(

The fruits were yummy though - I know it's simple but they were all fresh and sweet so they were nice. :)

So, it's: Decently priced lunch set at a veteren restaurant in Bangsar, relatively easy to find parking, comfortable ambience BUT nothing really bad to say, except don't expect the servings to be gigantic, ok? The price is so reasonable for the Bangsar area....
